BR(x) map for those who care...

was checking out your map, looks like a pretty nice ride, I wouldn'
mind tagging along one sunday morning if the ride is open to all ???

Its about time I chased some people up hills.

Open to absolutely any and everyone. You'd be most welcome chase or be
chased up hills; hope to see you along some time.
Cheers

Nice map; almost like being there. So how was it this week? Numbers,
your post-bender form, etc?
Got home from the Belgian Beer Cafe sort of early so I set the alarm.
6.25am it went off. I felt okay, without the hangover I was expecting,
so I got up, walked sideways into a wall and figured I felt okay
becuase I was still drunk. Went back to bed and woke up at 9.30 with
the beginnings of a mild hangover. Didn't even go out later, but did
iron enough shirts to drop at work for a full week of commuting. Will
be out next week.

RIGHT! Well I'm not up to speed @ all! I just found out that this
weekend is NOT a long weekend like it has been in the past. It's the
one after. I'll go back into my cave now
Geez that's makes it all too hard to decide what I do this Sunday:/

OK. a few tweeks after making some notes on this morning's ride
distances added. If anyone has any better info on these in the coming
weeks, let me know...

Hmmm. Prefer having those little side roads drawn in, because I am
sure that I got lost the time I went because the map didn't have
enough detail

But they come out oh so faint on the printer. I wonder if they can be
made a tad darker without cluttering up the whole map. Perhaps the
main roads should be made a tad darker too?

Hmmm, I might go and do something stupid like edit the raw postscript
file now...
Lets waste paper and colour ink!

I tried editing the postscript file, but it's a lot harder to find the
colour commands than my usual postscript files!

That's better (although I think I discovered the DPI limits of our
printer). Ther's a colour mistake in loop D though. Now just needs a
few more suburb names (Heidelburg?), and perhaps the odd major major
street name...

Don't worry about me

I should print on a fancy 24000 DPI printer, and then laminate

I just had a look FD, fantastic map - exactly what every prospectiv
BR'er would need. I noticed that there are frequent (very frequent
references to getting on a wheel though. Get out on to the front and d
some bloody work!!!

A hearty Well Done.
